Honest take on Exploring Our World: it's beautiful, sad, and so slow I started timing my page turns. Richard G. Boehm writes about a shuttered mill town with real love, and the scene where the whole street gathers to watch the old smokestack come down, nobody talking, is one of the most moving things I've read this year. It's a lot of mood and not much movement. For readers who like atmosphere and ache. Skip it if you get restless without a plot.

Look, I dived into Exploring Our World: People, Places, and Cultures expecting standard mainstream commentary, but Richard G. Boehm straight-up shreds the sanitized official narrative and exposes the raw mechanics of who actually holds power.
